नीरज अपनी घड़ी इस तरह रखता है कि दोपहर 12:00 बजे, मिनट की सुई उत्तर दिशा की ओर इशारा करती है। दोपहर 3:30 बजे घंटे की सुई किस दिशा में इशारा करेगी ?
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) South-East
12 का mark North की तरफ है, इसलिए 3 East, 6 South और 9 West होंगे।
1
3:30 पर hour hand 3.5 × 30° = 105° पर होगा, जो East (90°) और South (180°) के बीच है।
2
इस quadrant में सिर्फ South-East आता है।
✓
उत्तर (c) South-East है।
The 12 mark of the clock faces north, so 3 faces east and 6 faces south. At 3:30 the hour hand is at 3.5 × 30° = 105° clockwise from 12, i.e. between east (90°) and south (180°). Among the options, only South-East lies in that quadrant.
✓
The answer is (c) South-East.
